He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious.
Thus, what is of supreme importance in war is to attack the enemy's strategy.
If our soldiers are not overburdened with money, it is not because they have a distaste for riches if their lives are not unduly long, it is not because they are disinclined to longevity.
Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.
